【實用教育app】Perfect Times : Tables|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Perfect Times, was originally created as hand held cards and was tested and researched as part of a PhD at The University of Plymouth; gaining a patent in 1998, the game was invented to teach and assess students fluency in multiplication and division tables, this is done through matching factor and multiple cards against the clock. In 2000, the Perfect Times game, even went on tour with the BBC Tomorrow's World Road show. The arrangement of the cards is one of the methods used by NASA to test the reaction times of Astronauts.

The cognitive theory behind the acquisition of table facts lies at the heart of the game. By using Perfect times, the player becomes competitively "hooked" by trying to beat their previous score, in this way they practice.

The facts are presented and played in a non-specific order, enabling the player to randomly access the answer to times table questions, without resorting to recitation. The facts are presented as just numbers which means the process of learning the facts is independent from language. The time "score" for placing the cards acts as the assessment of fluency and achieving a time constantly under 20 seconds is an indicator of the players fluency in the table.

Perfect Times has been played very successfully by children as young as 4 all the way up to adults of 80 years old!
